Help Grow Food For Street Kid's (Orphans)

SHARE NGO Baseline Survey Plan - Donor Support!

In Mbale, eastern Uganda, SHARE NGO plans to return some of the street children to their families, and build street child support center for the orphaned street children. Displacement due to foods, landslides around mount Elgon areas, the HIV epidemic, drought and the slow grind of poverty all contribute to the large numbers of children without the love and support of a family home. 

Once on the streets, these children face harassment, violence and arbitrary arrest by the police. SHARE NGO received a letter from the chief administrative officer Mbale to conduct a baseline survey this morning to restablish the actual numbers of children in the streets due the recent flood's in mbale. After the study, we hope to over all the city slums, and neighborhood, to see how find considerable amount of funds to address the problem at hand.

SHARE NGO has began working with government Chief Administrator Office in Mbale to

•  develop an advocacy strategy and materials for educating Mable residents about street children;
• improve government monitoring and evaluation processes and their knowledge of participatory ways of working with the government department, education, health and community based services

• build skills and opportunities amongst street children by developing, enterprises, agricultural projects within Mbale slums, 
• establish animal farms for street orphaned children, 
• develop a drug prevention and intervention program; and support scholarships and tutoring for students in need.

Aim: To improve quality of life for all the street children who live on the streets of Mbale city and support their integration into family and communities.

Partner: Government of Uganda, Donor Organizations, Individuals who care to stop the problem.

Activities

• Develop resources and networks for public education and awareness raising regarding street children;
• provide technical support in the development and delivery of drug prevention education programs; 
• promote participatory and empowering methods for engaging children in decision-making; 
• provide technical support in areas such as monitoring and evaluation, communications, advocacy, organisational development and others as appropriate; 
• provide financial assistance to support the development of agricultural projects on the street children's Mbale farm.

Why? In Uganda, poverty, the AIDS epidemic and civil unrest in the north have driven many children to life on the streets of cities and towns. 

SHARE NGO has prepared an effective model for rehabilitating street children and supporting them to build a safe home or to live elsewhere with the help of other organizations and government, but recognise a number of areas in which they require additional expertise and support. Street children are generally reviled, and are regularly rounded up and imprisoned.

What’s happened so far? SHARE NGO has worked out a plan with the permission of CAOs office to collect information about the lives of street children and to draft advocacy materials, and we plan conducted drug prevention training for our local volunteer staff. 

We have in plan to fund several agricultural activities, including chicken and pig rearing and coffee production, and supported scholarships for all street children who will be taken to school with a minimum of 38 dollars per child, each school term, the intention would be per month if we had each child support by a comitted donor.

How can I help? Donate 100 dollars now to help a street child get out the street, go to school, start new life, skills or farms.

SHARE NGO was established for purposes of improving lives of vulnerable children, adolescent girls and youth skills for self reliance..
